To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that Lno J. BURDICK,11OW deceased, but during his lifetinre a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Sturgis, county of St. Joseph, State of Michigan, did invent certain new and useful Improvements in Check-Registers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in check rcgistering-meehanisms.

The objects of this invention are: First, to provide an improved check registering mechanism by which checks of different denominations or fixed values introduced therein are registered. Second, to provide an improved check registering mechanism by which the value of each check introduced is indicated as an item, and also the total value of the checks introduced registered. Third, to provide an improved check registering mechanism by which checks of different denominations and fixed values are registered, which is very simple and compact in structure and economical to produce. Fourth, to provide an improved check register which is simple and easy to operate and not likely to get out of repair.

liurth'er objects and objects relating to structural details will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

The objects of this invention are accomplished by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of this invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, iir which Figure 1 is an end elevation of structure embodying the features of this invention, looking from the right of Figs. 2 and 3, the crank B being removed and the casing shown in vertical transverse section to expose the internal mechanism. Fig. 2 is a front elevation view with the casing door A removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse detail sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is an edge view of the number wheel 1, showing the transfer teeth j thereof and also the notch j therein. Fig. 5 is a side elevation view of the number wheel 1, showing its relation to the pinion I. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view taken on line 6 6 of Fig. 1, showing the means for shifting the transfer pinions .1 into and out of engaging position. Fig. 7 is a detail end elevation looking from the right of Fig. 1, the location of the several shafts being indicated thereon. Fig. 8 a detail side elevation view of the check-holder and carrying wheel C. Fig. 9 is a detail plan view of the wheel C with the check holder in position thereon. Fig. 1G is a detail elevation view of the wheel O and cheek holder O, looking from the right of Figs. 8 and 9.

i i i i i i Fig. 11 is a detail elevation view of the locking dogs L for the toothed wheels F and F'. Fig. 12 is a detail sectional view taken on a line corresponding to line 12 12 of Fig. '11. Fig. 13 is an end view of one of the checks M. Fig. 1 1 is a plan view thereof.

in the drawings the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines, and similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing, a casing A is provided to suitably support and protect the mechanism. The casing is provided with a door A.

A roclvshaft B is arranged horizontally in the casing with one of its ends projecting theretln'ough. On this projecting end of the l'OCliSfhtft ll is a crank .B. Stops l) l) are provided to linrit the stroke of this crank and thereby limit the movement of the rock shaft 1%. r\ check holder carrying wheel O secured upon the rock shaft 13. O is the check holder. The check holder O is provided with arms C which are pivoted to the wheel O at c. There is a slot-like opening through the rim of the wheel 0 to receive the check holder, which is arranged transversely thereto, as clearly appears in Figs. 8, 9 and 10. A spring 0 secured to the rim of the wheel O and to the inner end of the check holder, holds the check holder normally outward.

Arranged at each side of the wheel O are toothed wheels F and F. The check holder (J is provided with laterally projecting arms c, adapted when the holder is in its inner position to engage these toothed wheels F and F. These toothed wheels F and F are carried by I the sleeves E and E respectively. These sleeves E and E are mounted on the shaft 13. The toothed wheels F and F are each provided with forty teeth. One half a revolution will register one dollar or one hundred cents. Each tooth will therefore represent one twentieth of one hundred cents or five cents. wheel F drives the total registering mechanism having number wheel 1 l and 1, and the wheel F drives the item or purchase indicating wheel G. (See Figs. 1 and 2.) This item wheel G is mounted on the shaft G. The shaft G is provided with a pinion a which meshes with the gear 15 on the sleeve F by which the toothed wheel F is carried. Thus connected the movenrent of the wheel F is imparted to the item or purchase indicating wheel G. The item wheel G is provided with two sets of figures so arranged in relation to each other that corresponding figures will be visible in the front and rear windows 8 s at the same time. This enables the amount of the item or purchase to be observed by both the salesman or operator at the front of the machine, and by the purchaser at the rear thereof. The gears 13 and 0 are so proportioned that the item wheel is advanced from O to 100 at ach half-r evolution of the wheel F.

Th e

As before stated, the total registering mechanism is driven by the toothed wheel F. To accomplish this a gear .F/ adapted to mesh with the pinion 0, is mounted on the sleeve l) by which the wheel F is carried. The pinion e is mounted on the hub i of the units number wheel. I. The number wheels I I and 1 are revolubly mounted on the shaft 1. The shaft I is arranged parallel with the shaft 13. The inner end of the sha ft I is supported by the bracket or standard a, and its outer end is supported by the casing A. The gears l5 and a are proportioned 2 to 1, so that the units wheel I is caused to make one complete revolution to each onedialf revolution of the toothed wheel F, which as before stated, has forty teeth, which teeth correspond to the number spaces of the munber wheels.

The unit of value in the structure illustrated is 5, and the units wheel I is divided into 20 spaces so that when it has made one complete revolution it registers [00 or one dollar. The number wheel I is provided with a tooth j adapted to engage the transfer pinion .I, so that at each revolution of the units number wheel the transfer pinions is advanced one step. The transfer pinion .l meshes with the transfer gear .I on the hub f of the number wheel I. The number wheel I is provided with two teeth j arranged in proper relation to the two sets of figures, which are adapted to engage the transfer pinion .l of the number wheel I, so that the number wheel I is advanced one step or space at each half revolutionof thenumber wheel I. This number wheel I is divided into twenty steps numbered from t) to it). With the number wheels thus arranged to register S199 ,'-($l99.95). The transfer pinions .I .l are slidably mounted on the shaft 1i, so that they are shifted into and out of mesh with gears J. This is accomplished by the lever li which is mounted on the upper end of the post K. The lever K is provided with an arm is projecting between the pinions J, and with. arms it" which engage the outer end thereof. The engaging portions of these arms are curved to permit the shifting of the lever and at the same time serve to keep the pinions properly spaced on the shaft. To retain the lever in its adjusted position, one of the arms is is provided with upwardly projecting lugs 7; adapted to engage the notches 7/ in the under side of the shaft K. (See Fig. 2.)

To prevent the overthrow of the number wheels, the hubs of the pinion J" are toothed or provided with pinions J, spaced to engage the peripheries of the number wheels I and I. (See Fig. 5.) The peripheries of these number wheels I l are slotted at j opposite the teethj (see Fig. f) to allow the pinion to turn or ad Vance one step when this point is reached. The number wheels I I are beveled at 2" so that when the pinions .l are shifted the pinions ii are disengaged from the number wheels so that the number wheels may be i'reel y revolved to reset them or return them to the original position. With the parts thus arranged, the actuation of the toothed wheel F is registered by the number wheels I I and 1, and the actuation of the toothed wheel F is registered by the item or purchase wheel G. As before stated, the wheels F F are retatably secured to the shaft B by means of the check holder C and the wheel C by which it is carried. When the check holder is in its inner position it en es the \D teeth of these wheels F and F so that when the rock shaft B is actuated the wheels F and F are advanced according to the time of the engagement. of the check holder therewith. As this engagement. of the cheek holder is determined by the denomination of the lived value of the check, it is evident that the value of the check is registered.

To cause the check holder to engage the wheels l and F it the proper point, curved cam plates ill and ll, II are supported in position to engage the checks, as M, (see Figs. 13 and It) as they are carried by the check holder. The cam plate II is arranged in the upper rear portion of the casing opposite the check holder carrying wheel C, and the plates i. ll. are arranged side by side below and to each side of the cam plate H. Supporting posts or standards a a are provided for these cams.

The checks M are provided with notches in. m. adapted to engage the cams of these plates. The depth of the notches is regulated to engage the proper cam or cams for registering the particular amount or value of the check. The check holder will engage the wheels F F corresponding to the cam or cams engaged. The plate His provided with cam projections/r It It, and the plates II which are substantial duplicates, areprovided with cam projections t I. t t. 'llhese cams are so spaced and arranged as to cause the cheek holder to engage the wheels F F and retain the holder in engagement therewith. or require it to cause the proper actuation thereof. For example, the cam projection t is the 5 or unitsprojections, and when a. ehoelc of that value or denomination is introduced it is not engaged by the cam plates until the cam projection t is reached. The projections t engaging the check forces the holder inward so that the lugs c engage the toothed wheels F and F and thereby loclc them to the wheel C. Asthe check is carried forward itsnapsol'f the ends of the cam plates H and drops into the drawer P, thus releasing the holder, which is thrown outwardly by the spring 0, thereby releasing the wheels F and F which have only been advanced one step. This, through the mechanism described, registers the value of the cheek and also shows he value of the check by the item or purchase wheel G, both to salesman and to the purchaser;

To prevent the overthrow of the wheels F and F the dogs L L are provided. These dogs are secured together by the cross-piece L and are adapted to engage the wheels F and F at the same time. The dogs L are supported 011 the rock-shaft L (see Figs. 1, 2 and 11 and 12.) These dogs L are held normally out of engagement with the wheels F and F by the spring r which is secured at one end of the standard a, and at i t other end to the dogs L by the pins r between which it is arranged. (See Figs. 11 and 12.) The dogs L are thrown into engagement with the wheels F and F by pins or on the check holder carrying wheel tl, which successively engage the lug or projection Z on the dogs. These pins are so arranged on the wheel 3 as to engage the lug Z of the dogs at the point of release of the wheels F and F by the check holderthat is, at the ends of the cams II and If. The stops 1) and b allow the rotation of the rockshaft far enough to bring the check holder well past the cams. When the check holder (arrying wheel reaches the limit of its forward movement it is locked in that position by the dog D which is pivltlt) oted on the wheel 0. the dog normally outward. A stop D is provided for this dog. (See Figs. 2 and 8.) This dog, when in its engaging position, is located beneath the check chute so that the introduction oi a check disengages the same, allowing the wheel 0 to be returned to its initial position, when the check drops into the holder C. The lug Z of the locking dogs L is inclined so that the pins n engage the under side thereol in the l'orward movement of the wheel to throw the dogs into engagement, and on the return movement the lugs n engage the top side of the lug Z so that the dogs are thrown away l'rom the wheels instead of into engagement. On the return movement of the check holder carrying wheel, the item or purchase indicating wheel G is returned to its initial position by the lug or pin n on the wheel G which engages the lug or pin n on the toothed wheel F. (See Figs. 2 to 9). The forward rotation of the wheel 0 brings the check into engagement with its proper cam projection or projections thereby forcing the lugs a into engagement with the toothed wheels F F so that they are advanced a proper distance. The cam projections L t L L and t of the cam plates H are the 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5 cent projections respectively, and the projections h h it oi the cam plate H, coacting with these cam projections register checks oi any value lrom 30 cents to one dollar, for example, a check of the value of 30 cents will be engaged by the projections h and the projections W, the projections h holding the check holder into engagement with the toothed wheels to cause them to register 25 cents, and the projections L holding the same in engagement to cause it to register 5 cents the 30 cent check being provided with notches of the right depth to engage the cam plates at these points. A check oi the value of (30 cents would be engaged by the projections h and h and by the projections t and W, the projections h and h holding the check holder in its engaging position to register cents and the projections t and L holding the check holder in its engaging position to register 10 cents. A check of the value of cents would be engaged by the cam projections h, h and 7t and U, and so on the notches in and m oi the checks oi the dillerent denominations being properly regulated to secure the engagement by cam plates at the proper point. The checks M are corrugated as illustrated, to prevent the introductions of slugs or fraudulent ehecks not adapted to the mechanism. The mechanism could obviously be made to use plain checks.

A cash drawer P is arranged below the check drawer P [or convenience, and it is intended that a sum equal to the lace value of the checks shall be deposited therein, the amount shown by the register indicating the amount of the sales.

This improved check register is very simple and easy in operation and is not likely to get out of repair. This improved check register has been illustrated and described in what is believed to be its most desirable form, on account of its simplicity and economy. It will be evident, however, to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates, that it is capable of considerable structural variation without departing from this invention, and it is desired to claim it specifically as here illustrated, as well as broadly.
